The Red Sox lost 7-2 on Monday night against their probable first round playoff matchup, the Orleans Firebirds. While the loss is of course not ideal, it most likely won’t have any effect on playoff seeding.
One night after piling on 19 hits and 12 RBIs in a 13-7 win against the Harwich Mariners, the Red Sox offense stayed hot in a 9-1 win against the Cotuit Kettleers, as six different players had a multi-hit game and all 11 players to have had a plate appearance reached base at least once. Jack Jett (Hofstra) pitched 3.2 scoreless innings to get the win in his first appearance for Y-D.
After falling just short of a win the night before, the Red Sox defeated the Harwich Mariners on Saturday. The Sox high powered offense won 13-7 and scored an abundance of runs early on in the game.
A three-run blast by Carson Taylor (Virginia Tech) in the fifth inning and a two-out RBI single by Wyatt Young (Pepperdine) in the ninth gave the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox a 4-4 tie with the Harwich Mariners last night. Erik Tolman (Arizona State) got the start for Y-D and pitched five solid innings, and Jacob Winger (High Point) threw two scoreless innings to bring his ERA down to an impressive 1.10.
For the second night in a row, the Anglers separated themselves from the Red Sox with another head to head win. Y-D came out on the losing end of a back and forth 4-3 ball game. The loss puts the Red Sox four points behind the Anglers in the standings with only six games remaining on the schedule.
